Manali is located in the center of Himachal Pradesh. Manali is best for bikers and adventure lovers. The best part of this hill station is it has all kinds of tourist spots. Almost all other hill stations have only one or two kinds of tourist spots. Unfortunately, Manali lays into the hill stations which has no snow in summer season like many other hill stations in India. Many people prefer train as the best means of transport to reach Delhi and bus from Delhi to Manali, actually it is best to take a flight to Delhi and from Delhi to Manali bus might be the best option. AS the time taken to reach Delhi by train is 28hrs i.e. almost one and a half day and from Delhi to Manali by bus is 14hrs. As there is no way to reduce the time between Delhi and Manali by other means of transport. However, flight provision is there but it is costly and not safe due to bad weather. On our way, to Manali we came across many kinds of mountains and a large tunnel through which we pass and I believe that it is the largest tunnel in India. Kullu is a small town which we come across in our way to Manali. There are many tourist spots in Manali but the main are Hadimba Devi temple, Solang valley and ski center, Rohtang pass, Mall Road. Solang valley is about 10-15km from Manali, it is on the way from Manali to Leh.

In Solang valley ski center there is ropeway and paragliding which is a bit expensive but it is worth, the cost of paragliding is about Rs 2500. During the summer season there is no snow in Manali. You can only discover snow at Rohtang pass because it is one of the peak points of Manali, it is basically a kind of a patch on the top of the mountain. Visiting Rohtang pass is very expensive in the Summer season because in summer season as I have already mentioned that there is no snow in Manali, every tourist wishes to rejoice in the snow. We need to take cabs that are available in Manali to go to Rohtang pass and these cabs charge an expensive price of 10k-13k to drop you at Rohtang pass which is about 50km from Manali. Adventure sports are one of the best hustle in Manali, there are adventure water sports like river rafting, wind sports like paragliding. The main disadvantage of Manali is traffic like many other hill stations in North India. For shopping, you can visit the mall road where you can get the best carpet, jackets in India which are actually supplied to all other parts of India and exported too many other countries across the world. I would like to suggest one restaurant named River music garden which is actually a riverside restaurant where you can get the best lamb and fish, the scenery is splendid.
From there I hit off to Shimla on the same cab which I have taken in Delhi. Shimla is one of the most populated hill stations in IndiaThere is nothing much to see in Shimla. But there are two places around Shimla those are Chail, Kufri. The distance from Shimla to Chail and Kufri is 45km and 20km.

Chail is famous for the Chail palace which is actually converted into a hotel. Chail is also famous for a hotel which serves you dinner on a river with very less water, a table will be placed on the river passage with water passing melting your feet.

Kufri is the peak point of Shimla which heavily covered with snow in the winter season. There is no route for vehicles to go so there will be horses which will ride you to Kufri. The journey to the top of Kufri is adventures because the horses will be rushing on the borderline of the mountain. Similar to mall road in Manali, there is also a mall road in Shimla. From there I drove back to Delhi.

Food wise I don’t need to specify a particular item in veg because all the items are good enough. But in non-veg compared all meats lamb is much more tender and prepared at its best.
I would like to suggest one Italian restaurant called IL Forno here you can get the best pizza and spaghetti.
